I Love Being a Missionary!

This has been a pretty good week.

I had a really cool experience this
week with one of our new investigators. We were teaching him about faith, and
it was only our third lesson with him, and we hadn't said anything to him yet
about the Restoration or Joseph Smith, but at the end of the lesson, he said,
"may itatanong ako. Paano naging propeta si Joseph Smith?" ("How
did Joseph Smith become a prophet?") So we gave him a Restoration pamphlet
and pointed him to page about Joseph Smith, and he started reading it right
away, and he was very eager to know about it, and he had lots of questions. It
was very exciting to see an investigator become very excited about having a
living prophet.

I just love being a missionary so
much. I can't even tell you. It just gets better and better. I can't imagine
that I'm going home in 4 months. Time is sure flying. I really like being with
Sister Quiles. She is a really dedicated missionary. And she is also a very fun
companion.

Last week, Nanay A's granddaughter was
diagnosed with Asthma. It was a really hard week for her and her family
especially because they don't have money to pay for health care. We got the Bishop
to come give the granddaughter a blessing, and now she is starting to do
better. The granddaughter’s mom sat in on Nanay's lesson on Saturday, and then
she came to church with Nanay yesterday. I really hope she will continue. I
hope their whole family will accept the gospel.

I love being here as a missionary. I
am so thankful for the gospel. I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve as
a missionary. I love you all!

Doctrine and Covenants 123:11-17

"It is an imperative duty that we owe to all the rising generation, and to all the pure in heart— For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it— Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven— These should then be attended to with great earnestness. Let no man count them as small things; for there is much which lieth in futurity, pertaining to the saints, which depends upon these things. You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves. Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed."
